day approved of the plan of reorganfza-
ton which has been prepared with the
approval of the receivers of the prep

titled to subscribe for 10 per cent. of
their holdings to the new general mort
gage bonds provided for in the plan.
The main feature of the plan is the pro-
posed new issue OF $50, 900 general
mortgage per cent. bonds, to be
offered to security holders. The reor-
ganization committee form themselves
into syndicates which, for commission
of per cent, agree TO take $l2, 900 600

Murdered BIS Mistress.

PHILADELPHIA, June g. Robert G.
Hall shot and killed Mrs. Lillian Rivers,
this morning. The couple were living
as man and wife, under the name of
Burton. Mrs. Rivers was the wife OF
James w. Rivers, an actor known in
the profession as James Reynolds. A
remarkable coincidence with the pres
ent tragedy was the attempt of Rivers
to take Mrs. Rivers life on April 18th,
for keeping company with the man
Hall, who, to-day, succeeded in doing
what Rivers had attempted two months
ago. After shooting Mrs. Rivers, Hall
cut her throat and then cut his own,
and Is now lying at the point of death.
Hall IS poet and actor, but has not
been very successful in either profess
sion, Jealousy is probably the motive
for the tragedy.
Hall left letter to the coroner
asking that his father, who resides in
st. Louis, be notified. The letter is
dated May 20, and states that he takes
the life of himself and his wife, Mrs.
Rivers, because of the latter's faithless-
ness. When Hall found that his efforts
to take his life were unaYailing, he tore
the flesh from the wound with his
hands. At the hospital this afternoon,
the physicians entertained very little
hopes OF his recovery.

ENTIRELY TOO CLOSE.
California and Nevada Shaken
by Earthquakes.
THE CENTRE OFTHE BIG WAVE.
Houses Badly Injured The Heaviest
and Longest Shock of Late
Years-General News
Shaking Up the wicked

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3.-An earth
quake swept over the greater portion of
Northern California and Western Ne
vada, between and o'clock this
morning. Reports from different points
seem to place the center of the wave at
some point on the boundary line be-
tween the two States. One house near
Genoa, New, after the earthquake, was
surrounded by cracks in the ground
from one inch to a foot in width.
Another shock equally as heavy would
have destroyed every brick house in the
town.
At Sacramento, it shook houses, max
ing them rumble as if the windows were
being slammed by gusts of wind. In
the Yosemite Valley the force and dura-
ton of the shock were the heaviest and
longest ever felt. At Carson City, New,
pictures and plastering fell from the
walls. A large amount of plaster fell
from the Supreme Court room in the
capitol building. Shaw's Hot Springs
are reported dried up. Virginia City.
Truckee. Marysville and Chico, and
Nevada City, are a few of the many
other points affected by the shock.
